There are a lot of best buys in public health. Every dollar spent on immunization saves $3 in direct health care costs and $10 societally. If you look at our work preventing hospital-associated infections, we can save billions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives a year with the interventions we’re undertaking, such as preventing infections and their spread between patients in health care facilities, and using antibiotics when necessary and appropriate – and not using them when they are not needed, for example, for colds, most sore throats, and many sinus infections.
Which Rotarians have to travel farthest for a make-up meeting? You are right if you guessed the 34 members of the Rotary Club of Papeete, Tahiti, which is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is the club that is most remote from any other. The southernmost Rotary meeting is that of the Rotary Club of Base Mararnbio-Antartida in Antarctica. To visit the northernmost club, you must travel to the Rotary Club of Svalbard on the Svalbard island group far north of the Norwegian mainland. It is said that there is a Rotary meeting being held someplace in the world every hour of every day. If you attended one meeting per day, it would take more than 80 years to visit all of Rotary clubs in the world, and by that time, no doubt, there would be thousands more new clubs to attend.
